Rheumatologists play a vital role in the diagnosis and management of various rheumatic conditions, including arthritis and diseases like Lyme disease. Here are some key points to highlight from your statement:

  1. Specialized Care: Rheumatologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases, which can affect the joints, muscles, and connective tissues. This specialization allows them to provide expert care for conditions like arthritis, including thumb arthritis, as well as Lyme disease.

  2. Collaborative Approach: Rheumatologists often work as part of a healthcare team to ensure comprehensive and well-coordinated care. They can collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as registered dietitians, orthopedic surgeons, cardiologists, family physicians, kinesiologists, and physiotherapists, to address the various aspects of a patient's health.

  3. Individualized Treatment: Rheumatologists can develop individualized treatment plans tailored to a patient's specific needs. These plans may include medication management, lifestyle recommendations, physical therapy, and dietary guidance, depending on the condition and its severity.

  4. Diagnosis and Monitoring: Rheumatologists are skilled at diagnosing rheumatic diseases through a combination of clinical evaluation, medical history, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. They also play a crucial role in monitoring disease progression and adjusting treatment as needed.

  5. Patient Education: Rheumatologists often provide valuable patient education about managing chronic conditions. They can help patients understand their disease, treatment options, and lifestyle modifications that can improve their quality of life.

  6. Regular Communication: It's essential for patients to have open and regular communication with their rheumatologist. Discussing your symptoms, treatment progress, and any concerns with your healthcare team is crucial for effective disease management.

If you suspect you have a rheumatic condition, such as arthritis or Lyme disease, or if you have already been diagnosed and need ongoing care, consulting with a local rheumatologist can be a pivotal step in managing your condition and improving your overall well-being. Their expertise and ability to collaborate with other healthcare professionals make them valuable assets in your healthcare journey.

Biosimilars are biological products used in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis. They are biological products produced from pre-existing Biologics. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include joint pain, swelling and stiffness. At first, rheumatoid arthritis usually only attacks a few joints, but over time it affects more. Early treatment is important as it can make the disease more likely to go into remission. Unlike some other types of arthritis, the chronic swelling from RA can cause permanent damage to the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis treatments include disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), analgesics (painkillers) and biologics (medications produced from living organisms or components of living organisms).

Uric acid is a natural waste product that forms when the body breaks down purines, which are found in certain foods and are also produced by the body. Normally, the kidneys filter out the uric acid, and it is excreted in urine. However, in people with gout, either the body produces excessive uric acid or the kidneys are unable to remove it efficiently, resulting in high levels of uric acid in the blood.

    Dr. Teo is more concerned with how efficient her business is running than how well you're doing. Good thing she is getting out of healthcare to focus on teaching others how to run an efficient practice.
